Yao Feiran took him to the dilapidated temple and gave him some basic treatment for his wounds.

The Fate-Defying Pearl: "Are you going to save him?"

"I don't know. I save people based on first impressions. He looks pleasing to the eye, but I don't know what his personality is like."

"It's all about looks, why talk about 'first impression'?"

"....."

Yao Feiran placed him in the dilapidated temple, brought anti-inflammatory medicine from home, and went through it again. Outside the temple, she saw a little girl searching for something.

She was so thin she was practically skin and bones, her expression was sorrowful, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Little girl, what happened?"

"Sister, my brother is missing. He went out to find us food."

After a moment's thought, Yao Feiran realized that the older brother she was referring to must be that boy.

"Your brother is at the temple. Come with me."

The little girl looked wary and didn't dare to follow. Yao Feiran didn't mind and went straight to the dilapidated temple. The boy was still unconscious. She gave him a sip of water and then poured in the anti-inflammatory medicine.

Yao Feiran picked up the boy and went outside. She saw the little girl standing not far away. When she saw the boy, she excitedly ran over.

"Your brother has fallen into a coma. Where do you live?"

"Thank you, sister. My home is in Ningkang County, which is up ahead."

"Don't call me sister. I'm not much older than your mother. Call me Aunt Yao."

"You look so young, Aunt Yao."

"You have a rather sweet tongue."

As the two talked, the little girl's wariness gradually disappeared, and Yao Feiran entered Ningkang County under her guidance.

The county town was full of beggars, who stared blankly at Yao Feiran. Yao Feiran remained expressionless and soon arrived at the little girl's house.

She lived in a densely populated area with dilapidated houses, where several families lived in one courtyard.

Through conversation, Yao Feiran learned that the little girl's name was Jiang Xiu, the second oldest in her family. The eldest was Jiang Chong, the one Yao Feiran had carried back, and the third was Jiang Hu, who was not even six years old.

Their father died young from overwork, and not long after, their mother also passed away. The people living in this area were all related, so no one bullied the three of them. However, now there is a drought, the court is corrupt, and taxes are high, so they can hardly support themselves. The three of them can only rely on themselves.

When Jiang Chong was a child, he was a tutor in a wealthy family. Later, the family moved south and sent Jiang Chong back home. Now he is responsible for taking care of his younger siblings.

This time, it's estimated that he was robbed and injured while trying to find food.

Yao Feiran placed Jiang Chong on the wooden bed and fed him a few mouthfuls of water. Yao Feiran guessed that they didn't have much to eat, so she took out some porridge from the thermos and fed Jiang Chong a few mouthfuls.

Jiang Xiu swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

Yao Feiran took out a bottle of mineral water and a few biscuits.

"You eat it."

Jiang Xiu extended her hand, her eyes filled with emotion: "Thank you, Aunt Yao."

The two siblings finished eating, and Jiang You returned the plastic bottle and packaging bag to Yao Feiran, but Yao Feiran refused and carefully kept them.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chong finally opened his eyes. Yao Feiran noticed the fierce look in his eyes and reached out to attack her. Yao Feiran pressed down on his arm, preventing him from moving.

"Your name is Jiang Chong, and I saved you."

Jiang Chong then realized he was home. He said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you so much. May I ask how to address you, sister?"

"Just call me Aunt Yao, my daughter is about your age."

Yao Feiran could tell at a glance that this person was a very complex one, ruthless to enemies but very good to his own people.

Reversal of Fate Beads: "His luck is helpful to you, so why not make some extra money?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Feiran understood the meaning of the Fate-Defying Pearl: "That works too. Travel through one world and earn the energy of two worlds."

Yao Feiran asked Jiang Chong, "Have you been to school? Have you practiced martial arts?"

Jiang Chong composed himself: "I worked as a page in the Liu family for a few years, and secretly trained under the guards for a few years as well."

"What are your plans now?"

"I want to feed my younger siblings and help them survive."

"Are you interested in conquering the world?"

Jiang Chong's eyes widened, seemingly still not understanding why the other party had jumped to such a big topic.

"I never thought about it. I'm not mentally ill."

"I'll make sure you and your younger siblings have enough to eat."

"Can."

Jiang Chong thought the other person might be mentally ill, but if it was just to have a full meal, he might as well agree.

Yao Feiran saw through his thoughts and inquired about Wu Qizhou's plans. She learned that Wu Qizhou had now established the Red Sail Army, which was quite far from here, and there were no other forces around.

His ability to traverse between worlds should be similar to mine. His location in the modern world is fixed, and he will appear in the same location he came from in the ancient world the next time he comes back.

After providing a batch of supplies, Yao Feiran said to Jiang Chong, "I will come again next month. Before that, I hope you can gather a group of people to work for you. Otherwise, I will not provide any more supplies."

After returning to the modern world, Yao Feiran began acquiring companies that raise pork, as well as other livestock industries. She chose the less strictly regulated country of Shaman to grow and purchase grain there. Yao Feiran also had the Reverse Fate Pearl open a passage there so that the grain could be transported directly without having to go through customs.

Lin Jinglan also noticed that Yao Feiran seemed to be busy with something. He had been neglected lately, and as they got older, they still didn't have any children together. He was a little worried that one day Yao Feiran would want to find someone younger and then happily follow him there.

Yao Feiran discovered that Lin Jinglan had been constantly checking up on her lately. He even followed her to the companies she was acquiring. Finally, on a flight to Samoa, she saw Lin Jinglan and couldn't take it anymore: "What are you doing following me?"

"What's so fun about Saman? Besides, it's quite chaotic there, and I'm worried about you."

"Okay, I happen to be short-handed, you can help me with the work."
